About the Show:
Meet two competing friends in this fantastic adaptation of Aesop’s classic fable.
Hare is ready to race, but Tortoise has many things to do before it’s the right time. And time moves so slowly! From sun-shining spring to snow-falling winter, the duo go through all four seasons. Does Hare have the patience? When will they actually start the race? Brimming with charming characters, live music and singing, and wonderful physicality, Tutti Frutti brings you this much-loved story about opposites and friendship.
This performance includes a Teacher Resource Guide--a curated learning tool provided by Starlight staff to provide curriculum connections, pre- and post-visit materials, and a worksheet.
